Setting Oven Controls
Cakes Breads
The Cakes Breads functions are designed to give optimum
baking performance for Cakes or Breads. These functions work
well for baking cakes, brownies, pies (fresh or frozen), baked
custards, cheesecakes, breads, rolls, biscuits, muffins and corn-
bread.
The Cakes function provides a preheat with a gentle cycling of
heat giving cakes more volume and allowing delicate foods to
cook more evenly.
The Breads function adds a special preheat feature to the bake
cycle that thoroughly heats the oven from top to bottom to give
more evenly browned foods.
To set the Cakes or Breads features with a default temperature
of 350°F:
1. Arrange interior oven racks when cool. Preheat oven as
desired and place food in oven.
2. For Cakes, press the Cakes Breads until CAKES appears in
the oven control display.
For Breads, press the Cakes Breads until BREADS appears in the
oven control display
3. Press
.
Important note:
• Dark or dull pans and glass absorb more heat than shiny
bakeware resulting in dark, over browned, or under cooked
foods. To prevent this it may be necessary to reduce the
oven temperature or cook time of some foods.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
• Breads will have better results baking on a single oven rack.
• Layer cakes will have best results using the Cakes function.
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
For best results when baking cakes or cookies using 2 oven
racks, place cookware on rack in positions 3 and 5 (6 if using
the offset oven rack). For best results when baking cakes or
cookies using a single oven rack, place offset oven rack in
positions 3 or 4.
Meat Probe
When cooking meat such as roasts, hams or poultry, use the
meat probe function to check the internal temperature without
any guesswork. For some foods, especially poultry and roasts,
testing the internal temperature is the best method to insure
properly cooked meats.
Important note:
• Use ONLY the meat probe supplied with appliance. Using
any other probe or device may result in damage to
appliance and the meat probe receptacle.
• Never leave or store meat probe inside oven.
• Handle the meat probe carefully when inserting and
removing from food or probe receptacle. Do not use tongs
to pull on meat probe cable when inserting or removing
from food or receptacle.
• Defrost food completely before inserting meat probe to
avoid damaging probe.
• To avoid possibility of burns, after cooking carefully unplug
meat probe using a pot holder to protect hands.
Proper meat probe placement:
Always insert meat probe so that the probe tip rests in the center
of the thickest part of meat. Do not allow meat probe to touch
bone, fat, gristle or cookware.
For bone-in ham or lamb, insert meat probe into the center of
lowest large muscle or joint. For dishes such as meat loaf or
casseroles, insert meat probe into center of food. When cooking
fish, insert meat probe just above the gill.
For whole poultry or turkey, insert meat probe into the thickest
part of inner thigh, below the leg (Figure 33).
